- The site from which I copied the information (artintheblood.com), is my own site, and all material on it is my own research and work. All I want to do is share a specific portion of my information with Wikipedia, not release all my material into "copy-left" status. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodepress (talk • contribs)
- Sorry, but if you're unwilling to release your work into the public domain, you should not be reposting it to Wikipedia. Any material published on Wikipedia can be republished commercially without your permission.
- If you only want to release one page of text under the GFDL, you can just put the GFDL release statement on that page alone. You can also email permissions-en at wikimedia dot org (from an artintheblood email address) to confirm that you're releasing that single page under the GFDL, if you'd rather not add the message your site. --McGeddon (talk) 22:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- The easiest and least complicated solution might be to just rewrite the paragraphs to cover the same points without repeating your site content verbatim - I'd be happy to help with that, if you don't want to release your work under the GFDL. --McGeddon (talk) 22:23, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't mind releasing the information under GFDL. I just don't want people to get the mistaken impression that, by putting the GFDL release on the ONE page of my site, that I'm releasing all the information on the site, and I'm afraid that's what will happen. Of course, I've seen enough things copied from my site that it shouldn't really matter. lol I guess it's the principle of the thing. If you'd like to reword it, go ahead. I've done my good deed for the day. :) Goodepress (talk) 22:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Reworded! Thanks for providing the raw material. --McGeddon (talk) 23:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Pablo Carreno
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pablo Carreno requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from facebook.com/pablocarrenoart/about. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
